ATLANTA – Jason Day withdrew from the Tour Championship after just seven holes on Friday with a back injury.
Day, the world No. 1 and fourth-ranked player on the FedEx Cup points list, told a PGA Tour official that it was the same injury that forced him to withdraw during the final round of the BMW Championship two weeks ago.
Day pulled his drive at the par-4 eighth hole into the water and hit driver again from the rough after taking a penalty drop when he withdrew.
